Anesthesia & Monitoring

The importance of your pet’s health and safety during surgery requires a specific anesthetic and monitoring protocol.

A pre-surgical exam is required to ensure that your pet receives the proper anesthesia protocol. Your pet will be examined and/or a pre-surgical blood screen is performed. The results of these tests and your pets past anesthetic history, age, and preexisting conditions are used to create an individualized anesthesia protocol for your pet.

While under anesthesia your pet will be cared for by a well-trained and experienced veterinary technician who will be monitoring heart rate, respiratory rate, body temperature, oxygen level and gas levels. They have the ability to address any issues if applicable.

Pain Management

Pain management is vital for your pet. Patients are fully monitored by our veterinary technicians while they are in our care. The doctors and staff at Bogalusa Animal Clinic take all necessary steps to relieve any discomfort before, during and after any surgical procedure. We alter our approach to your pet's specific needs.

Postoperative Care

Upon discharge from the surgical procedure, we provide detailed instructions to care for your pet at home. We understand that it can be a lot of information to absorb at once, if any questions, concerns or if you need anything repeated back to you, please give us a call we are here to help.

As your pet is being discharged from the clinic, we will provide you with detailed information on how to properly care for your pet at home after surgery. We are also happy to answer any questions or concerns that may arise after your pet arrives home. Please don't hesitate to call us if you have a question or concern.
